Democratic presidential hopeful Andrew Yang is finding a growing surge of online grassroots support for his longshot campaign in the form of memes.

The 44-year-old serial entrepreneur’s online supporters, known as the Yang Gang, have started meme pages on Reddit, Twitter, and 4chan, placing Yang’s image on popular meme templates. The profile of Yang memes exploded last month after his appearance on the “Joe Rogan Experience” podcast, which is a favorite show within the meme community.

Yang’s popularity is attributable in part to his universal basic income proposal, the centerpiece of his campaign, which entails giving every adult in the country $1,000 a month. The policy proposal is popular among a mostly white and male meme and gamer culture which shares Yang’s concern for jobs being lost to automation.

A prominent Democratic PAC, Priorities USA, says it’s removing Ohio — a key swing state — from its list of priorities in 2020, signaling that they do not believe Democrats can return the swing state to the “blue” column.

All it took was one tweet from conservative actor James Woods to put every single 2020 Democrat presidential hopeful in their place.

And it’s not even kind of not close. That’s how not close it really is.

A member of Hillary Clinton’s communications team decided to weigh-in on Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s “Green New Deal,” which would cost taxpayers tens of trillions.

AOC, herself, then gave her two cents.

Finally, pro-Trump actor James Woods dropped the hammer.

It’s really this simple: if you’ve got a better than what @AOC is offering to combat climate change, please show it. If you’re a Member of Congress who can effectively address climate change better than the #GreenNewDeal, show your receipts. Make an effort.

Enter James Woods, who absolutely ripped “arrogant idiot” AOC a new one:

So, you may have missed this, but the way it works in America is YOU work for US. The last time somebody told Americans to sit down and shut up was 1776. If you ever learn to read, look it up. You are not only a idiot, you’re an arrogant idiot, and there is nothing more dangerous

Trump Utters Bold, Nonchalant Quip About Mueller Report

As the liberal left and their cheerleaders in the media continue to play the role of hype-man for Robert Mueller’s coming #RussiaGate report, the Commander in Chief is chill to the max. From nearly the onset of President Trump’s first term in office, Robert Mueller has been lurking like a shadow. As Special Counsel, Mueller was tasked with finding evidence of “collusion” between Russia and the 2016 Trump campaign – a popular conspiracy theory touted by Hillary Clinton during her quest to defeat Trump in that election. What Mueller has uncovered so far appears to be a litany of bizarre crimes of legalese having been committed by former acquaintances of the President, with his indictments to this point being doled out for wrong doings far, far away from Moscow. This has led to incessant criticism of the Mueller-led probe by the President, who has called the entire theory a “hoax”, and the investigation itself a “witch hunt”. Now, with the mainstream media practically willing the Mueller probe to end, (on account of what they believe will be massive revelations in their quest to oust the President), Trump himself has taken a backseat to the drama, offering a flippant quip regarding the process. Trump responded to a question on whether the public has the right to see the report by saying, “I don’t mind. I mean, frankly, I told the House, if you want, let them see it.” He later added, “[L]et it come out. Let people see it. That’s up to the attorney general. We have a very good attorney general.” The President added wryly that he would like to see the report as well. There is no current consensus as to when the report will land, and whether or not the investigation’s findings will be made public is still the subject…

Houston Chemical Fire Prompts “STAY INSIDE” Warning for Residents

The people of Houston, Texas are in trouble. On Sunday, a massive chemical plant in the Texas city went up in smoke. Alarmed social media users in The Lone Star State took to Twitter to share the harrowing images of a dark plume of who-knows-what smothering the sky over their homes. https://twitter.com/Reuters/status/1108183014608158721 https://twitter.com/Ace_Gagnon/status/1107646470264631298 https://twitter.com/gulf_news/status/1108190169956519939 Houston residents were told that there was no need to be concerned about possible health concerns, despite the noxious plume having spread far and wide. Suddenly, and frighteningly, authorities have backtracked on that assessment, and are now warning residents to stay indoors. National Guard troops have been called in and residents were told to stay inside after elevated levels of benzene were detected early Thursday near a Houston-area petrochemicals storage facility that caught fire this week. Harris County officials said the Guard and hazardous materials teams have established perimeters around the Intercontinental Terminals Company in Deer Park, which is about 15 miles southeast of Houston. The Texas Environmental Protection Agency said Wednesday that benzene levels near the facility didn’t pose a health concern. But authorities issued a shelter-in-place order Thursday following “reports of action levels of benzene or other volatile organic compounds” within Deer Park, according to the city. Several school districts also canceled classes for the day, citing “unfavorable air quality conditions.” Residents near to the fire have reported a range of strange symptoms, including headaches and nosebleeds, according to local environmental groups.
